'..about subpoenas and "audit the Fed" ... "We all should have those first amendment rights as if we are all journalists". '

<blockquote>'When asked about subpoenas and "audit the Fed", Paul went on to say that he can issue subpoenas but would need agreement from the chairman as well as speaker.

It's a good clip, also containing a discussion of proposed legislation to redefine the word "journalist" and redefine the word "publisher", both scary thoughts.

Paul would oppose such legislation as being contrary to the first amendment and likened measures to the book "1984".

"I have a much broader definition" said Paul. "We all should have those first amendment rights as if we are all journalists".

Congratulations to Ron Paul and thanks to all who emailed their support.'
